President Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, secretly taped a private conversation with Trump two months before the 2016 presidential election. Well, the FBI got ahold of the tape first, and now everyone from Fox News to the New York Times is reporting details of it.

The two men talk about payment to a former Playboy model, Karen McDougal, who said she had an affair with Trump in 2006. President Trump is calling it “totally unheard of and perhaps illegal” for his lawyer to tape him, and he added in the tweet “your favorite president did nothing wrong!”

Critics say this shows the White House wasn’t honest when a spokeswoman said he didn’t know about a payment. Remember, the National Enquirer ended up paying for McDougal’s story and then never reported it. The NYT reports prosecutors may now be taking a close look to see if any laws were broken by the Trump campaign or that media organization.

President Trump’s current lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, says yes, the recording is real, but Trump never paid her or the paper.

Federal investigations are now looking into the decisions of a tourist boat company because of a tragedy near Branson, Missouri. The boat capsized in a lake late last week, and now 17 people of the 31 on board are dead. Nine of them are from the same family.
